Since the 2007/2008 academic year, curriculum changes have been made into Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) which is covered in KIPDI III. Learning strategy is in the form of block learning method using Problem Based Learning (PBL). This system takes seven semesters (3.5 years) to complete the study load of 149 credits at Academic Stage (Bachelor of Medicine) and four semesters (two years) to complete the study load of 35 credits at Stage of Profession (Professional Physician). Period of study required to pass a doctor entirely 11 semesters (5.5 years) with a study load of 184 credits.

The strategy of CBC learning is conducted by classifying some subjects into several blocks specifically, where each block represents one learning area of health problems. The number of blocks of teaching at FK UMM are currently as many as 21 blocks, or an average of 3 blocks per semester which includes the core competencies and supporting competencies. Each block consists of 3-5 scenarios, depending on how long a block is completed. If the schedule of the learning blocks are completed in five weeks hence the block will discuss three scenarios. Each scenario completed within one week with a series of two times the tutorial discussion, two-time lab skill, 3-5 times of expert lectures, one plenary discussion and lab work if it is necessary. Lab work is done only once. The last one week is used for the block test.
